Install guide
Install Dopamine with TrollStore
TrollStore is the preferred path when your device supports it — persistent install, no weekly resigning.
Before you start
- Confirm support on supported devices.
- TrollStore must already be installed and working on the device. Get it from the official opa334/TrollStore project — installing TrollStore itself is out of scope for this page.
- Only use Dopamine files from GitHub Releases.
- Back up anything important; jailbreaking can affect stability and apps.
Steps
- Download Dopamine.tipa from GitHub, or use Open in TrollStore on device.
- Install the tipa through TrollStore.
- Open the Dopamine app.
- Run the jailbreak and wait for it to finish.
- Choose a package manager when prompted — Dopamine ships with Sileo and Zebra.
- After any reboot, open Dopamine again and re-jailbreak (semi-untethered).
If something fails
- Recheck chip + iOS minor on the device matrix.
- Use the latest tipa, not an old build.
- Confirm TrollStore itself still opens and can install other tipas.
- App won’t open after install — reinstall the latest tipa; confirm TrollStore isn’t outdated for your iOS.
- Jailbreak fails immediately — verify chip/version ranges, then retry with the newest release.
- Packages missing or broken — you likely need rootless builds (why).
- If TrollStore is unavailable on your setup, use the sideload path.
After a successful jailbreak
- Install rootless-compatible packages only — see rootless.
- Do not update iOS unless a new Dopamine release clearly adds your target build.
- Semi-untethered: userspace jailbreak state does not survive reboot until you run Dopamine again.
